Cookies don’t have to be healthy – it’s much more important that they taste delicious and satisfy a small sweet tooth. BUT: If they also contain healthy ingredients such as oatmeal, seeds and wholegrain flour and keep you feeling full a little longer, I don’t mind. With this recipe for healthy sourdough breakfast cookies, you can easily use up your leftover sourdough discard. They are also quick and easy to make, wheat-free, great to bake in advance and contain good, nutritious ingredients.

- Rolled oats, preferably quick oats.
- Wholemeal spelt flour, freshly ground: Self-ground wholemeal flours have a richer taste and more nutrients compared to supermarket flours. However, they do not keep as long and should be used immediately after grinding. If you don’t have a grain mill*, you can of course also use store-bought flour.
- Honey and brown sugar for sweetness. For vegan cookies, you can replace the honey with agave syrup, for example.
- Cinnamon for flavour.
- Baking powder is used as a leavening agent. That’s why you can bake these rusks not only with sourdough starter, but also with sourdough discard.
- Sourdough starter or sourdough discard: Because this recipe contains an additional leavening agent, it is not important how strong your sourdough starter is. It works just as well with freshly fed sourdough as with starter that has been waiting in the fridge for a week. I feed my sourdough starter with roughly equal parts flour and water. I use a mixture of wheat and rye flour. If you feed your sourdough in a different ratio, you will probably need to adjust the proportion of water in this recipe.
- Butter or vegan butter.
- Sesame, flaxseeds and sunflower seeds
- Chocolate chips, optional.
- Preheat the oven and mix all the ingredients to form a dough.
- Shape the cookie dough into 22 balls and place on a baking tray.
- Optionally decorate the breakfast cookies with chocolate chips and bake until crispy.

- A grain mill* for freshly ground wholemeal flour.
- A Danish Whisk* – especially if you don’t use a kitchen machine. This allows you to mix your ingredients without the whole dough sticking to the spoon.
